      <b>mtlb_uint16</b> - Matlab uint16 emulation function</p>

    <p>Matlab and Scilab <tt>
        <b>uint16</b>
      </tt> behave differently in some particular cases:</p>
    <dl>
      <dd>
        <b></b>
        <dd>
          <li>
            <b>
              <font color="maroon"></font>
            </b>
        With complex input: Matlab <tt>
              <b>uint16</b>
            </tt> can be used with complex values what Scilab function can not.
        </li>
          <li>
            <b>
              <font color="maroon"></font>
            </b>
        With <tt>
              <b>%inf</b>
            </tt>: Matlab <tt>
              <b>uint16</b>
            </tt> returns 65535 and Scilab returns 0.
        </li>
        </dd>
      </dd>
    </dl>
    <p>
    The function <tt>
        <b>mtlb_uint16(A)</b>
      </tt> is used by
    <tt>
        <b>mfile2sci</b>
      </tt> to replace <tt>
        <b>uint16(A)</b>
      </tt> when it was not
    possible to know what was the input while porting Matlab code to Scilab. This function will
    determine the correct semantic at run time. If you want to have a
    more efficient code it is possible to replace <tt>
        <b>mtlb_uint16</b>
      </tt> calls:
    </p>
    <dl>
      <dd>

        <dd>
          <li>
            <b>
              <font color="maroon"></font>
            </b>
        If <tt>
              <b>A</b>
            </tt> does not contain <tt>
              <b>%inf</b>
            </tt> values
        <tt>
              <b>mtlb_uint16(A)</b>
            </tt> may be replaced by <tt>
              <b>uint16(A)</b>
            </tt>
          </li>
        </dd>
      </dd>
    </dl>
    <p>Caution: <tt>
        <b>mtlb_uint16</b>
      </tt> has not to be used for hand coded functions.</p>
